【Sensitive, stubborn castoff heiress x proud, sharp-tongued merman with long hair】
Shen Nian was the youngest daughter of the wealthy Shen family.
But life in the Shen household felt like walking on thin ice.
Her father was cold and had never given her a shred of warmth. Her mother was gentle, but had never firmly chosen her. Even her older brother and sister looked down on her.
In the Shen household, her food, clothes, and spending were strictly monitored. She even had to report it if she wanted to buy a fountain pen.
The one time she stood up for herself, she refused to be used as a pawn in a marriage alliance, and was thrown out of the house.
“Why has no one ever chosen me?”
Then she unexpectedly met Jiang Siyue, a suitor who wouldn’t stop clinging to her no matter what.
He wanted to live with her and provide for all her needs. The one thing he couldn’t stand was her being too far away.
The pain of being cast aside grew into vines, winding tightly around this small source of warmth.
She kept asking whether he liked her. The man muttered refusals, but the tips of his ears turning red somehow made her feel better.
Every month, her skin-hunger syndrome flared up at regular intervals. Each time, they embraced and clung to each other, their kisses crossing the line, tormenting her nerves even as they left her satisfied.
Until she discovered Jiang Siyue’s secret: he was a mermaid.
A merman’s pearl had left his body, and a merman couldn’t stray too far from his pearl.
Jiang Siyue was forced to cling to a human woman.
A sensitive, proud woman who teased him from time to time.
When the woman asked if he liked her, he immediately bristled.
“Ridiculous. Would I like a human female?”
Even if a sea turtle climbed a tree, he wouldn’t like her!
But the sea turtle never climbed a tree. His heart just started racing.
A merman’s monthly cycle was far more intense than skin-hunger syndrome.
But she didn’t know that.
With their skin pressed together, she was a fatal temptation just by standing there.
And she kept teasing him, asking again and again if he liked her, if he wanted to kiss her.
Want to… as if!
Just one kiss. Just one!
“If Nian Nian finds out who I am, will she still like me?”
“No, wait. I don’t care whether she likes me or not. Hmph!”
In the end, the tables turned, and he was the one nervously asking if she liked him.
